Internal Server Error 500 when Empty Host Header Sent #175

Open
@LJWsao

Description

Overview

When sent a GET request with an empty host header, WEBrick responds with error code 500, but it should respond with Error Code 400, for an invalid request.

Reproducing the Bug

  1. Clone, build, and install WEBrick. (Tested on ea12400)
  2. Set up a config.ru file with the following contents:
class Server
 def call(env)
 [200, {}, []]
 end
end
run Server.new
  1. Run rackup.
  2. Send a GET request with an empty host header, and observe WEBrick's response as follows:
printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\n\r\n' | ncat localhost 9292
